Although Saudi Arabia has officially maintained that it supported more moderate rebels, the newspaper reported that “funds and arms were being funneled to radicals on the side, simply to counter the influence of rival Islamists backed by Qatar.”

But rebels interviewed said Prince Bandar is referred to as “al-Habib” or ‘the lover’ by al-Qaida militants fighting in Syria.

The only planes allowed to fly after 9/11 were the ones picking up Prince Bandar and his associates and when the 9/11 Commission report was published, ALL references to him and his family were blacked out because 9/11 was a ‘backdoor’ CIA/Mossad operation designed to force the US into a war against Saudi royal enemies such as Saddam of Iraq and Iran’s revolutionaries: Prince Bandar and 9/11

Between April 1998 and May 2002, some $51-73,000 in checks and cashier’s checks were provided by the Saudi Ambassador to the United States and his wife to two families in southern California, who in turn bankrolled at least two of the 9/11 hijackers. The story was investigated by the 9/11 Commission, but never fully resolved, and remains, to this day, one of the key unanswered questions concerning the backing for the worst terrorist attack ever to occur on U.S. soil.

According to numerous news accounts and the records of the 9/11 Commission, in April 1998, a Saudi national named Osama Basnan wrote to the Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C., seeking help for his wife, Majeda Dweikat, who needed surgery for a thyroid condition. Prince Bandar bin-Sultan, the Saudi Ambassador, wrote a check for $15,000 to Basnan. Beginning in December 1999, Princess Haifa, the wife of Prince Bandar, began sending regular monthly cashier checks to Majeda Dweikat, in amounts ranging from $2,000 to $3,500. Many of these checks were signed over to Manal Bajadr, the wife of Omar al-Bayoumi, another Saudi living in the San Diego area.

Right after 9/11, I said we should bomb Riyadh. The stupid ‘bombs in the building’ garbage was a DARPA scam designed to hide Saudi responsibility for 9/11 and way too many people fell for that scam. Unable to understand how Saudi Arabia attacked us so we would go to war against Saddam, we were helpless when the push for that war took off and the #1 charge the Bush regime gave for that war was…responsibility for 9/11. Lying about that event from day one, Bush and Cheney first tried to get Kissinger, a good buddy of Bandar and the Israeli Zionists, to run the commission, public anger forced them to drop that and then they forced the commission to have Cheney and Bush testify together and Bush said nearly nothing while Cheney lied his head off.

Way back when this locked lips moment happened, I and others on the left attacked Bush and talked about Bandar and 9/11. The GOP was silent. Not a peep of protest. The preachers who scream about gay guys kissing said nothing. This passed silently by the media giants. Bandar is a terrorist and the US leadership loves him quite literally.

In an interview with conservative radio host Mike Huckabee, Paul said that President Barack Obama needed to understand that “there are 2 million Christians living in Syria, more than just about any place in the Middle East.”

“And I just don’t want to see my kids or weapons of the United States being used to kill Christians in Syria,” he explained.

Galloway of Britain talks very strongly about how there are 23 religious minorities in Syria, all very well protected by Assad before the Saudis and Mossad poured weapons and foreign fighters from al Qaeda into the country. These fighters have committed ethnic cleansing war crimes of the most hideous sort such as cutting out hearts and eating them on You Tube, sawing off the heads of Christian priests and butchering entire communities. All which is hidden from view by our Zionist media.

Already Thursday, more than 150 members of Congress have signaled their opposition to airstrikes on Syria without a congressional vote. House members circulated two separate letters circulated that were sent to the White House demanding a congressional role before military action takes place. One, authored by Rep. Scott Rigell (R-Va.), has more than 150 signatures from Democrats and Republicans. Another, started by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), is signed by 53 Democrats, though many of them also signed Rigell’s letter.

Bravo to the brave Democrats going against the warmongering bitch running their party, Feinstein. A fellow Californian representative is going against her own leader, bravo again. The back bench here is having an uprising. Which our media is basically playing down. This is huge news! For example, it is not on the front page of the Washington Post or the New York Times. Now for a real laugh from the past:

What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.

What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income — to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression. That’s what I’m opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.

Our Nobel Peace Prize winner should repeat this speech! But of course, now that he is owned by Israel and Saudi Arabia, he is allowed endless vacations with no comment from the WP and NYT while the rest of us are told we have no money for anything here at home and he is happily pursuing wars Saudi Arabia and Israel want.

Furthermore, he did the opposite for a year until he literally had to hide in the White House while Netanyahu got a standing ovation from a very corrupt Congress and then trotted over and demanded Obama see him. Finally, the Jewish handlers inside the WH persuaded Obama to meet Netanyahu. Then he was BRIBED. Yes, the conversation, a secret one, was all about how high a price capitulation to AIPAC would entail and I am guessing it is double the amount the Clintons got which was $50 million.

Clinton foundation spent more than $50 mln in travel costs — RT USA is a shocking story of corruption. In the past, I have written about how ‘charities’ are used as vehicles to hand out bribes with the Clintons as the #1 example. The Clintons should be arrested but then, I was one of the few to call for the Reagans to be arrested when they ran off to Japan to collect a $2.5 million speech bribe. Arrest them all!

I do hope the Congress revolt succeeds and wish the GOP signers of the petition were against the illegal war against Iraq but the bastards were not.

One last thing, Israel is very agitated about anti-ethnic cleansing demonstrations and here is news about this from South Africa: Gilad Atzmon – Writings – John Zorn’s Artist Performs to Jews Only (audio): the Israelis are scared of anti-apartheid demonstrations in South Africa so they exclude anyone not Jewish from a university-paid event there but also did this secretly.

It is a shame that the Jewish population is shooting themselves in the head. Instead of dealing with the inevitable mass anger and depression that followed WW2 in the proper fashion, they ran headlong into ethnic fascism.

They have also allowed religious fundamentalists to use the Holocaust as a political weapon which should NEVER have been allowed. Right now, the Jewish religious fanatics are making Hitler and gang look almost sane and that is a dangerous indeed.

Listen to that from “International The News” (Pakistan) :
Russia flayed over attack threat to Saudi Arabia:
President Vladimir Putin was condemned for issuing open threat to attack Saudi Arabia in retaliation to US-led attack on Syria. They call for Jihad against Russia!
This has certainly to do with the threats made by Bandar Bush to let the Chechen terrorists to attack the Sochi Winter Games if Russia doesn’t drop Assad. He admitted that the Saudi control the Chechens. This is tantamount to a declaration of war. Putin certainly warned the raghead about the consequences.

That’s strange. An English friend of mine once asked me in Germany if I had a faggot on me. Perhaps I did not remember the word correctly. It was in 1986. He meant a ciggarette. I know “faggot” means a piece of wood, but I thought that was also an American term.

My English friend and I tried to make a typical Sunday dinner by roasting a chicken, but the oven in the German dorm was in Celsius, and neither of us had ever used an oven before. I seemed to remember 350 degrees as a normal oven temperature, so we set it on that. What a mess.

Great video of George Galloway. Too bad there isn’t someone like him in the US Congress. I have thought for a long time that the US should adopt the Parliamentary habit of requiring the Prime Minister (or in the case of the US, the President and Vice President)to come before Congress and answer questions from those oppsed to their policies. Wouldn’t it have been fun viewing watching someone like Dennis Kucinich asking Bush OR Cheney–in front of the entire Congress–about the phony WMD’s in Iraq. Of course, one could think of a host of other questions that would have been quite informative hearing Bush or Cheney attempt an answer. And yes, the same can be said for the current President and his VP. As a bonus, agit prop outfits like Fox would have a very difficult time trying to “spin” the video of Presidents either refusing to answer a question–or flat out lying. This is probably why forcing Presidents to answer/explain their actions, in public AND before a hostile audience, will never happen. Things might change for the better if it happened though.

You can’t be unaware of the meeting Bandar – Putin, of the gangster “deal” that the Saudis “offered” Russia. He explicitly said that “I can give you a guarantee to protect the Winter Olympics in the city of Sochi on the Black Sea next year. The Chechen groups that threaten the security of the games are controlled by us and they will not move in the Syrian territory without coordinating with us”. Putin was not impressed by the “liver eaters” of Bandar. I have little doubts that the Russian leaked the document. Indirectly they suggested who was behind the Boston bombings.
I share with many people the conviction that Bandar was sent by the Americans. I am sure that they came to believe their own narrative about the real motives of the Russian position in regards to Syria (their supposed fear that they would lose money, so they can propose them more money and hopla!). It might be that Bandar talked to much and revealed to much, maybe unwittingly – he was talking to a master in their field who knew how to extract the admission.

If there are doubts who was really behind “the gas attacks” check the “The Times of Israel” news site for the August 30. An article signed by David Horovitz:
‘Perfidious Albion hands murderous Assad a spectacular victory. How a perfect storm of British ineptitude and gutlessness sent the wrong message to butcher of Damascus, AND LEFT ISRAEL MORE CERTAIN THAN EVER THAT IT CAN ONLY RELY ON ITSELF’!
And another one, signed by Raphael Ahren:
“Indecision on Syria undermines Israeli confidence. British rejection of strike to punish Assad’s use of chemical weapons underlines that ISRAEL CANNOT RELY ON INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, official said’!!! What the official stressed was that Israel cannot rely on the security guarantees in any future peace agreements with the Palestinians.

Yes, that is our job. We strive to fight the world wrongs by doing Israel’s bidding. We frequently bend over for Saudi Arabia as well. As Elaine said, in so many words, we are the Lady Macbeth of the world stage and the blood on our hands is only washed off with more blood.

I’m about to give up on this country. We are neck deep in lies and seeing Kerry explain yesterday why we simply have to go to war (again!) to participate in another country’s ethnic cleansing was enough to make me dry heave.

World politics is contemporarily dominated by the Saudi Royal family desiring to maintain is perpetuity as a dynasty. Syria and Iran respresent an existential threat to Saudi interests. By Saudi Arabia aligning itself with the US military-industrial complex via Prince Bandar, the Israeli element also ensures against existential threat, as the Jewish lobby is strong in banking circles on Wall Street and the Stock Exchange in London, thereby having a major influence on politics. Money accummulating to Saudi Arabia for its oil provides Saudi Arabia, especially the feudal plutocrasy of its royal family (also members of Bilderberg), provides enormous political clout.

However, when oil and gas are exhausted, the US empire and the Saudi Empire will fade, and the Saudi Royal family will sink to oblivion, as predicted by Olduvai Theory (Dr Richard Duncan). Just like the Roman Empire collapsed, the US empire will soon collapse in debt, and the World will experience a new Dark Age, world population will crash in hunger and starvation as economic and supply structures fail. The Arabs of the Sahara will then revert to their traditions, a nomadic desert people.

This is the fate of humanity. The actions by the Saudi Royal family, especially Prince Bandar, are very parochial, and ignore real threats to humainty such as Fukushima Dai’ichi triple China syndrome. Even the huge wealth of the Saudi Royal family cannot buy a solution to the horrific Fukushima disaster now unfolding.

For sure the Saudis are a nasty piece of work. They are the creation of MI5 (like the Muslim Brotherhood) transferred to the care of CIA after WWII. But the recent rush to blame everything on them is suspicious to say the least. Are they the proverbial unreliable ally, the fickle, treacherous Ayrab? Nobody so far thought that they might have any initiative of their own. Or are they just cast in the role of scapegoats (of Israel, of course)?

Since this bombing will not solve anything and is done just to show US power why not cost effectively drop one bomb to all the rogue states in the world.
Israel, Syria, Somalia, Saudi-Arabia, North-Korea, China, Russia and while you are at it proactively bomb a training area on US soil as well….
And one small bomb to every country in Africa (excluding Botswana, South-africa and Morocco).

@JT I think you missed my point (or perhaps you are setting up a straw man argument?). The United States is under the occupied interests of Saudi Arabia and Israel. We are, in effect, Israel’s bitch. That being said, Obama will do anything and everything he can to ensure he gets he 50-100 million dollar pay day when he leaves office. The entire American democracy has been sold out to ensure that money buys access to the White House. The “Presidency” in the White House has been nothing more than a high falutin’ whore house since Reagan got in. Got it? No? Didn’t think so, though I thought I’d at least try. Silly me!

Absolutely right! And no one, NO ONE! is saying a word about the disaster that is Fukishima. All I read about is how the “wonders” of 3-D printing are going to save humanity. Lovely. The poor, wretched souls in Syria are being gassed and burned to death while our “rulers” play a game of rummy with each other! The world is increasingly being poisoned with an unrelenting intensity and NOBODY SEEMS TO CARE!
Quite sad, actually. I’m getting a bit long in the tooth to care anymore, sadly. These shenanigans have been going on long before I ever entered this earth and I suspect they will continue long after I exit it. Human nature, I suspect.

“My son came to me two weeks ago asking what I thought the weapons were that he had been asked to carry,” said Abu Abdel-Moneim, the father of a rebel fighting to unseat Assad, who lives in Ghouta.

Abdel-Moneim said his son and 12 other rebels were killed inside of a tunnel used to store weapons provided by a Saudi militant, known as Abu Ayesha, who was leading a fighting battalion. The father described the weapons as having a “tube-like structure” while others were like a “huge gas bottle.”

Ghouta townspeople said the rebels were using mosques and private houses to sleep while storing their weapons in tunnels.

…

“They didn’t tell us what these arms were or how to use them,” complained a female fighter named ‘K.’ “We didn’t know they were chemical weapons. We never imagined they were chemical weapons.”

“When Saudi Prince Bandar gives such weapons to people, he must give them to those who know how to handle and use them,” she warned. She, like other Syrians, do not want to use their full names for fear of retribution.

@tio
Yet another reason why our forefathers very strongly cautioned about getting involved in other countries’ civil wars. Personally, I couldn’t care less what Assad and any of his opponents do to their people. I don’t give a fu_k about Israel. The incestuous relationship the United States has with Saudi Arabia is over oil. Our cunt-try could have severed this relationship 40 years ago by exploring solar and other kinds of energy. We chose not to do this. So collectively we have put our necks into a noose. For this we shall be hanged and die a most miserable and well deserved death. Slow curtain…the end.
